For Moonface‘s latest release, Spencer Krug has stripped down his sound to just a piano and his voice, leaving the effects, overdubs, and electronic elements out. The new album, Julia with Blue Jeans On, is Krug’s self-described love record and displays an angle of Spencer’s music not heard before.

Paper Bag Records filmed a simply stunning video of the new song “Love The House You’re In” live for their Sessions series. Get a sense of seeing Spencer live by watching the session above or on YouTubehere.

A few weeks ago we premiered the first song stream from the new album, “Everyone is Noah, Everyone is the Ark”, a slow building warning of flood waters ahead. Click HERE to listen to the song on our Soundcloud.

Another angle on seeing Moonface live comes from Matt Bobkin at Exclaim Magazine after seeing Spencer solo at Pop Montreal this Summer,

Krug’s command of the piano is quite a sight; he weaves intricate lines with each hand that cascade and coalesce like waves breaking on the shore. His warbling vocal timbre, distinct as ever, waxed tales of turmoil, introspection, and even love. As the hour-long set went on, Krug slyly joked about the sleepy nature of the songs, even going as far as saying that if any audience member were to fall asleep, he wouldn’t blame them, but that would’ve been a difficult feat to achieve with the amount of raw passion and emotion that emanated from the speakers. The set’s crowning moment took place during the album’s title track, played near the end of the night, once Krug spoke the name “Julia” for the first time, the warmth in his heart filling the space. Krug’s performance definitely deserved the two standing ovations he received, once after the set proper and the second after the encore.
